the Golden Mortar as announced
was swung to the breeze, and
there she hangs in all her glory,
not only an ornament to our
place, but one Of the ornaments
of our town, and we take con-
siderable pride in our town for
we have passed more than a
quarter ofa century in it, there

busted off, and our head piece has been
found to be all the better for the shelving.

Look Ont for Them.

Another form of rural swindle has made
its appearance in the northwestern part of
the State. The swndler visits farmer,
says he is introducing patent fence, and
wishes to put up few rods of the same on
the farmers place to give the people of the
community a chance to become thoroughly
acquainted with its merits. Furthermore,
as it might be some time before he would
be able 10 get around TO put up the fence,
he asks the farmer for his name and address
so that he can send him some circulars for
distribution among the farmers of the
vicinity. Several days later the second
swindler arrives and notifies the farmer
that the machine which he ordered the
week before for building a sort of woven
picket fence is at a neighboring station.
He also asks for the 5000 due the company
for the machine. II the farmer refuses to
do anything, having ordered nothing of
the kind, the agent backs down and
offers to let him out of the affair Il he will
pay the freight, etc., which would be about
$40. The farmer has to keep stiff upper
lip nowadays to prevent unknown frauds
from robbinG him; but it is a pretty safe
rule to refuse to give signature to any
man he does not know. Honest strangers
do not want signatures,
